Database Connectivity

Kea servers (kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6) can be configured to use a variety of

During normal operations, if connectivity to any of the back ends is lost and
automatic recovery for that back end is enabled, the server will disconnect
from all back ends, and then attempt to reconnect them. During the recovery
process the server will cease serving clients but continue to respond to
commands. If connectivity to all back ends is restored the server will
return to normal operations. If connectivity cannot be restored after

Monitoring Kea With Stork
*************************
It is usually desired to monitor running Kea services. Kea exposes many sources of informations:
configuration files, API, statistics, logs, open database content and more. It may be sometimes
overwhelming to keep up. ISC started the Stork project to address this problem for both Kea
and BIND 9. Stork can address a variety of scenarios:
Most administrators want to be able to monitor any Kea services that are running. Kea offers so many
pieces of information - configuration files, API, statistics, logs, open database content, and more -
that it may sometimes
be overwhelming to keep up. ISC's Stork project is intended to address this problem for both Kea
and BIND 9. Stork is useful in a variety of scenarios:
- you can use Stork as a dashboard. It provides you with an insight into what exactly is going
on with your servers. In particular, it can provide up to date details regarding pool
utilization in your subnets and shared networks, can monitor state of your HA pair (and
provide extra insight in case of failover and recovery events), lets you list, filter and
search for specific host reservations and more. For this capability, you need to deploy
a single Stork server and one Stork agent on each machine you want to monitor.
- Stork can be used as a dashboard. It provides insight into what exactly is happening
on the servers. In particular, it allows users to: see up-to-date details regarding pool
utilization in subnets and shared networks; monitor the state of the HA pair (and
provide extra insight in case of failover and recovery events); list, filter, and
search for specific host reservations; and more. Only
a single Stork server needs to be deployed, and one Stork agent on each machine to be monitored.
- you can use Stork agent to integrate Kea with Prometheus and Grafana. Once you deploy a Stork
agent, it starts acting as Prometheus exporter. If you deploy Prometheus in your network, you
will be able to visualize statistics as time-series using Grafana.
- The Stork agent can integrate Kea with Prometheus and Grafana. Once the Stork
agent is active on the server, it serves as a Prometheus exporter. Users who have deployed
Prometheus in their networks can visualize statistics as time series using Grafana.
- you can do both of the above. If you have Grafana deployed in your network, you can let Stork
know its location. In this configuration, Stork will let you inspect the current status and
will provide a customized link to Grafana to see how a given property behaved over time.
- Stork can act as both a dashboard and an integrator for Prometheus/Grafana. Once Stork
is linked to where Grafana is deployed on the network, users can inspect the current status and
visit a customized link to Grafana to see how a given property behaves over time.
Stork is available in source code, but also as native Deb and RPM packages, which makes it easy
to install on most popular systems. For more details, please see
`Stork ARM <https://stork.readthedocs.io>`_ or `Stork project page <https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/stork>`_.
